"Fantastic experience at Ozumo Santana Row. The food was excellent, very fresh and full of flavor. We had shrimp tempura, crispy rice with salmon, edamame, and a couple of salmon rolls, and everything was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Service was outstanding. Our server was very friendly and attentive, and the chef even came out to introduce himself, which made the meal feel personal and welcoming. The atmosphere is cool and low key with a beautiful patio area, lanterns, and a relaxed vibe that works great for a date or casual dinner. Parking is convenient with a structure in the back, and you can sometimes find street parking if you are lucky. There is easy access for disabled guests as well. Overall a wonderful experience and I would definitely come back and recommend it to friends and family."

"A Lively Cozy Izakaya when you want to experience Japanese vibes on a whim after shopping at Santana Row on a Chilly Evening. A warm Junmai Sake started off the festivities. She liked the rich dashi Udon with succulent Shrimp, Mushrooms and Nori. The side of tempura added a nice crunchy twist to the experience. Absolutely had to have a Sake Nigiri Sushi and it was fresh as ever. Warm lighting added to the authentic feel of the place. I’m already thinking of returning back with a bunch of friends for Happy Hour Sashimi Nigiri SakeBombs 🇯🇵"

"I went on a Saturday, had reservations for 6 pm. It wasn't crowded at all. We were seating right away outside, which is a quaint little area with heat lamps above you. Service was a tad slow in the beginning, but friendly. I've been here a couple years ago and always loved the food. I ordered an espresso martini and like 20 min later the waitress comes back with the other drinks saying they were out of the espresso martini then left the table. I didn't want to go through the long wait again so I just got a Diet Coke which they serve in cute little glass bottles. I ended up getting the Midori salad with the sesame dressing on the side, and an order of chicken yakatori. I would get this meal again it was super good, I loved the chicken!! Putting the chicken in my salad was also incredible. Garlic edamame was soooo good too!"

"We stood at the door waiting to get seated for ~10min. Should’ve just walked off then. Took 20min just to even bring us the menus, another 10 for water. Food came out fast but that was the worst spicy tuna i ever ever had! FYI the tables next to us was visited by the same server atleast 5 times. Barely any tuna, pickled somethat was way too salty. The volcano roll could be better. Drink was ok- looked pretty tho. Very disappointed with the service as well as the food. Not worth it. Walk around and almost every other place to eat around santana is top tier."

"Definitely overpriced. I really wanted to enjoy the food, but it was very average. The menu sounded great on paper, but the flavors didn't land. Even the shishito was bland. The chicken skewer was probably the only tasty item, but it was too small a portion. The chutoro (bluefin tuna belly) had a fish scale which wasn't pleasant. The desserts were also disappointing. We ordered the basque cheesecake (which tasted good initially but then got very eggy) and the mouse (it was not the soft mouse. It was hard, almost like frozen icecream with strawberry sorbet and none of the flavors came through). The service was good though, they were quick and attentive. The ambience is also good. Would've returned if the food was good, but its not worth $100 per person."
